Ours is a 40 gallon tub out front with duckweed and water hyacinth. My daughter's goldfish is out for the summer and loving it. We're trying really hard to groom him so he'll fill out properly. He's supposed to be a ryukin, but got kind of starved before he came here so was really far behind growth-wise.

She said she wants a steampunk aquarium, so I picked up a leaky old 40 gallon from goodwill for $10 and am in the process of converting it. The new silicone should be cured tomorrow afternoon.

Here's the little guy when we first brought him home:

A month later, much better. Hopefully it's not too late for him to reach his full potential.

No tanks right now. My last one was a ten gallon with a betta and two African dwarf frogs. Haven't had any tanks going wince they all died. I know its not an aquarium, but I used to have a pond filled with koi at the house I lived in when I was a kid.

Have had several set up, but we want to wait until we are a little more grounded. We have been moving every year and I don't want to deal with moving a big tank anymore. So we are waiting. Next step is a 400 gallon, though.

You must post pics of the project-it sounds awesome! Do you know what the basic design is going to be yet?

I also want you to know that I just spent 30 minutes looking up steampunk stuff because I'd never heard of it before and find it intriguing-lol.

My aquirium ideal would be a goldfish pond outside, a large 40-50 gal planted community tank, a 10-20 gal guppy tank with a female betta for "population control," at least one or two male betta set ups, and a twenty gallon with a pair of African clawed frogs. DH is horrified at the amount of aquiriums I want-lol.

Thanks, I've spent a lot of time on it arranging it and learning what plants do best in what places. I lost one Amazon sword due too not getting enough light as it was tucked in a dark corner, my center amazon sword as you can see is doing great and I can't wait till it grows up to the top of the tank. My center(driftwood) anubias is also doing fantastic and has roots growing everywhere I am excited for when it decides to grow a new sprout somewhere!

Here are some more fish shots

The Cardinal Tetra (this photo was taken a couple months ago and the plant that's in the background here was a fake plant that is no longer in my tank.)
